1 - Vince McMahon creates the "Hardcore Title" and awards it to Mankind.
2 - The Road Dogg is stripped of the belt after he was "injured". Hardcore Holly defeats Al Snow to fill the vacant spot.
3 - Holly defeats defending champ Billy Gunn and Al Snow in a Triple Threat Match.
4- The British Bulldog makes a surprise return to the WWF and wins the title from the Bossman. He immediately forfeits it to Al Snow, who becomes the second three time champ.
5 - The Big Bossman defeats The Big Show and Al Snow in a triple threat hardcore title match to win the title for an unprecendented fourth time.
6 - Crash Holly loses the title at the Newark Airport, which was aired as part of the 3/13 Smackdown. Holly then wins back the title mere seconds later. The storyline to explain all of this is the supposed 24/7 title defense scheme followed by Holly.
7 - This was a hardcore battle royal at Wrestlemania 2000. In a 15-minute match, the title would change hands via pinfall on the current champ. The title changed hands ten different times, with Viscera obtaining the longest title reign of about six minutes. Hardcore Holly finished the match as the champion after pinning his cousin Crash but there is speculation that Crash was supposed to retain. Thus the next night, he won it back. Special thanks to Kane Grzasko for compiling the title reigns (in seconds) in the battle royal.
8 - The original match was Crash Holly versus Perry Saturn. Saturn defeats Holly to become new champ, but 20 seconds later, Tazz emerges to pin Saturn. Only 15 seconds after that, Holly pins Tazz to grab the title back.
9 - In a match pitting Matt Hardy against Jeff Hardy, Crash Holly appears to win the 24/7 defended Hardcore title for a 6th time.
10 - British Bulldog makes his return to the WWF by answering Crash Holly's challenge and wins the match to become a two-time hardcore champ.
11 - In a Crash Holly-Godfather match, one of the Godfather's Ho at ringside capitalized on a D'Lo Brown run in to score the pin on Crash. However, she promtly lost it a few seconds later after Crash rolled her up. The Ho, although not named on TV was independent and MCW valet, Cyndi Lynch, aka BobCat.
